    Kingfisher


    Kingfisher-_MG_3855 by Andy_Leslie, on Flickr

    Canon 7D; EF 70-200mm f/4L w 1.4x extender @280mm; ISO 400; 1/1000th sec; Spot metering.

    A shame about the bland background but the water reflected the grey skies.

    Yes, a little too closely cropped, too.

    Well done Andy, it would be real easy to replace the background! Reckon you could half the ISO and the shutter speed and still get a good shot if you see it again!

      Yup, I could replace the background. The Halving of speed and ISO I'm not too sure about, this was quite a dark day!

            Crop is fine and a good pose and even some detail in the fish. I am guessing this is a very big crop though as the bird is quite noisy - no real problem though being a KF

                  As a novice I don't feel learned enough to pass comment, but I think it's a great image. I've been hunting these little fellows for the last 3 weeks so I appreciate other peoples images a lot more when I see them. :)

                      A very nice clear,sharp picture. I would have personally liked to have seen some background- i.e the habitat as well. Thats my opinon anyway.
